The bag width refers to the measurement from the left to the right of the widest part of the bag.

POUCH LENGTH

*Many drainage/catheter bags require that the bag lay at a certain position for optimal draining. This is not the bag length.

The pouch length refers to the length that the pouch will be once the drainage bag is placed on the waist at the appropriate location. To measure, place the bag on the hips at the level it should be located once the belt is equipped. Measure from the waist measurement location to the bottom of the drainage bag.

The pouch length will be utilized as the measurement from the top of the belt to the bottom of the pouch.

WAIST SIZE

The waist size refers to the measurement of the waist. To measure, place your measuring tape around the body noting the size once the measuring tape meets.

Reductions, to account for the stretch in the materials, are made during tailoring; do not alter measurements being entered. Belt will be form-fitting to ensure appropriate function.

DRAINAGE TUBE LOCATION

The drainage tube location requests the side of the body any tubing or ports are located. This will determine if the pouch will be tailored on the left or right side of the belt.

Choose your preferred belt closure to allow for adjusting the fit of your ostomy support belt.
